N-340 Accident Causes Long Tailbacks at the Entrance to Sagunto
A collision on Friday at 18:16 at kilometre marker 932.5 of the N-340 national road, heading south, blocked traffic and created lengthy queues at the entrance to Sagunto.
The incident occurred on the afternoon of Friday 26 June on the N-340 national road, on the section leading into Sagunto from the north. Spain's traffic authority (DGT — Dirección General de Tráfico) placed the crash at kilometre marker 932.5 southbound and confirmed that police officers attended the scene. The exact cause and full extent of the accident were not officially confirmed in the first hours.
The N-340 is Spain's longest national road, stretching 1,248 km from Puerto Real (Cádiz) to Barcelona along the entire Mediterranean coastline. At Sagunto, it intersects with the A-23 motorway (known as Autovía Mudéjar) heading toward Teruel and Zaragoza, making any incident at this point a potential bottleneck for traffic across the wider comarca. Vehicles were held stationary for an extended period before traffic was restored. Reported by elperiodicodeaqui.com.
